The Complete Switching Solution - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS

A compact, ultra-reliable, high performance KVM Fiber Matrix Switch with 32 Video Ports and 32 Data Ports in one Switch!

The DCS StudioPRO 32 is a unique class of cost-effective matrix switching designed for a variety of small to medium sized high performance computing environments. Comprised of a fiber-in, fiber-out matrix switch it provides transparent, secure, routing, and switching of video and high speed data peripherals. Typically suited for Apple applications, USB 1.1/2.0 or FireWire 800 peripherals can be extended and switched to multiple outputs and destinations with ease.

Matrix Switching

The DCS StudioPRO's exceptional switch performance hinges on excellent design and rigid manufacturing tolerances. A single (6U) chassis co-locates video and high speed data peripherals (USB 2.0, USB 1.1) with 32 video ports and 32 data ports. This compact size greatly reduces complexity and cost by drastically lowering the number of components, connectors and interconnection cables. This full non-blocking matrix switch features broadcast (one to all) and multi-cast (one to more than one) connection capability. In addition, user's can easily configure and control the switch with the DCS StudioPRO's browser based GUI.

DCS StudioPRO Full Non-blocking Matrix Switch Features:

Broadcast (one to all) and multicast (one to more than one) connection capability

Any source port(s) may be connected to any destination Port(s)

32 Video ports connect any video fiber to any video fiber no matter what the source and destination device video format is DVI

5. Power supply modules (current sharing, redundant)

32 Data ports connect all non-video fibers - Supports all high speed data USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Firewire 800

A dedicated on-board Linux CPU (pc) module for control and administration. These cpu modules may be accessed via a network connection (browser), or a serial port for 3rd party controller (AMX, Crestron, etc.) integration

Each Unit is made up of the following modules:

1. Linux cpu module

2. Input (source) port module(s)

3. Output (destination) port module(s)

4. Fan modules and trays

5. Power supply modules (current sharing, redundant)

All modules and trays are hot-swappable, except the cpu

On-board diagnostics

Each unit has a Linux controller

Voltage monitoring

Fan speed monitoring

Temperature monitoring

S.M.A.R.T. Drive diagnostics

SNMP management functions

Complete suite of Linux administrative functions and diagnostics

Cable management

Fiber in and fiber out eliminates all copper cable issues associated with traditional matrix switches

Single fiber connection supports a complete DVI video signal

Fiber connection supports all non-video signals

Fiber connectivity may be ST or SC depending upon extender model

All Thinklogical fiber products use multimode fiber

DCS fiber connectors are LC for high density and positive lock connections

Copper cabling is limited to connecting source computers to Thinklogical fiber transmitters and display and desktop devices to Thinklogical fiber receivers - This permits copper cable (length) related artifacts and performance issues to be minimized

Security

The DCS retains no video information in any type of memory format - The DCS is a conduit for routing signals from an input port to an output port

Information through the switch is indecipherable without a fiber optic transmitter and receiver

Since the DCS routs user interface device signals, including video, in a proprietary way, there is isolation between switched signals and networks

Fiber optic cables are immune to EMI and RFI security concerns and eliminate electronic eavesdropping

Users may be grouped and given group-specific rights and permissions pertaining to computers they may switch to

Administrators have total access to the DCS diagnostics and may create, edit and delete users, sources, destinations and groups

All users must login with a unique user ID and password prior to making or breaking connections

Graphical User Interface

Easy to use browser-based GUI allows users to select a computer or source by name and connect to a user destination by name

Groups of ports may be created and switched simultaneously

Any individual video (and/or audio) source may be multicast or broadcast to multiple destinations. (Note: "Multicast" is defined as one source to more than one destination and "broadcast" is defined as one source to all destinations)

Users may be created, modified or deleted by administrator level individuals

Serial control is also available

Extends Hi-Speed USB 1.1 connection up to 3280 feet (1000 meters)

Four port Class A device

Installation is Plug-and-Play, no adjustments are necessary

Supports USB 1.1 low-speed /full-speed and USB 2.0 hi-speed devices

Uses standard duplex multi-mode fiber optic cable

LEDs provide link performance status

Available with your choice of ST or SC fiber connectors

Supports dual link DVI

Support of the DVI-D interface

Fully DDC2B compliant
